MYCROFT.
5 - Male - Feline - Eurasian Lynx - Loner - Loner
Personality: 200 words at least
Appearance: Mycroft, much like his brother, is at the top of the scale for Eurasian Lynx sizes. While a little shorter than Sherlock at only 120cm in length with a short bobbed tail, he's taller in height and stands at around 80cm at the shoulder. He has thick muscular hind legs and massive webbed paws - though they look less out of proportion with his body. While Sherlock has large feet and leg, and a thinner body, on account of his laziness, Mycroft is much fatter in the chest so he looks in proportion. His face has the same characteristic squished look front on and boxy muzzle, though his face looks more filled out and he is much puffier in the cheeks and has a wider face.
Mycroft's coat differs to Sherlock's. While Sherlock's ha a mixture of reds, My's is a mixture of browns and greys, a fact attributed to him being older. In the summer his coat is much lighter in colour, his black spots and stripes becoming visible and the fur is much shorter. In the winter, as the cold weather comes in, his coat is nearly solid brown, with a mixture of greys on his underbelly and on the underside of his face which make him look like he has an old grey beard.
History: There is very little that's known about the family life of Mycroft. He was born the oldest brother in the family to a middle brother, Sherlock and a younger brother Felix 'Q'; because Felix was deemed too girly by both brothers. Their father was absent for much of their lives, he was present for most of Mycroft's first year, then only visited on the birth of his two brothers, following that, he never saw him since. His mother done their best to raise them, but struggled when the three children were shown to be particularly gifted in intelligence, but socially were incredibly hard to handle and she left them when Mycroft was old enough to take care of his younger brothers.
Beyond their own personalities, in which all three brothers struggled living comfortably with each other, their lives were not difficult and they were well off, living comfortable in a snowy mountain range, beyond the barren wastelands of Hexasol. Mycroft was four when Sherlock was just older than two, who decided to take off on his own, using his keen sense of deduction (which was not as sharp as Mycroft's own and which he delighted in telling him), serving as a freelance detective, private eye.
A visit by their father, whose own life was much of a mystery brought Mycroft and Felix their calling. Their father, a mysterious lynx, who they'd only heard referred to as 'M' brought them into a secret organisation, a network of cats and dogs that span the length of the globe, trading information, keeping tabs on dangerous animals and generally working to keep the world in a sense of order. Mycroft took up a post within Hexasol, to keep an eye on his brothers, though often disappears for long periods of time on secret secret duties.
